The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 366
The VIP seats were in the middle of the concert hall, closest to the performance stage. Everyone knew they were reserved only for the elites. Naturally, most of them were young people; the older generation was rarely seen. Dreamscape wouldn't invite them, either.The VIP seats were all large, single-person couches with unmatched comfort. Beside each couch was a small table with various fruits and drinks.George was one of the earliest to arrive. He had nodded repeatedly to many people he knew, although not to the extent of standing up and greeting them. A polite nod was more than enough.However, he had to stand for some people, such as Nala, who was just passing by him now."Lady Nala, I can't believe you actually came."Nala, as always, wore her veil. Whenever people saw her, there was an urge to lift the veil, though none had the courage."Hmm."With a slight nod, Nala continued onward with Yvonne by her side."Could you let me say a few words to Yvonne?"Without breaking h

"You'll bring me in? What do you mean?" Felix asked, frowning. He didn't recall Xena ever inviting him to the concert."Oh, don't be so coy. I'm in charge of security for this concert, so bringing you in shouldn't be an issue for me." Xena retorted.Felix glanced subtly in Alistair's direction and suddenly understood what was happening."Thank you for the gesture, but Alistair's already left. You don't need to put on this fake show of affection with me."Had Alistair left? Xena turned slightly, confirming that Alistair had indeed already moved off with his team. As always, he was meticulous. Even though he saw Felix, he hadn't stopped to greet him and only focused on his duties."Now that I've made the offer, I won't go back on it! You came all this way to see Dreamscape's concert, right? I'll take you in," Xena insisted.Felix chuckled coldly. If this had been anyone's first encounter with Xena, they might have mistaken her for a gentle, understanding woman. But the truth was th

"Yes, my mistake," George said apologetically.But what had happened had already happened. Felix hadn't been wrong. Initially, everyone focused on the pre-show program on stage, and no one noticed Felix until George came over to his side.Nala and Yvonne were among the first to notice. Their expressions changed upon seeing Felix."Interesting. Felix got an invitation to Dreamscape's concert, too?" Nala mused.Yvonne, however, seemed puzzled. "Lady Nala, isn't it normal for him to be invited, considering he's the top young medical talent in Dragonia?"Nala's gaze returned to the stage before she replied, "You don't understand. Dreamscape's invitation criteria aren't that straightforward. Take a closer look. Why is Ryan the only one here out of the five who are pursuing me? Is he more talented than the other four or the leader in some field?"Yvonne paused, realizing she had been wondering the same thing. If Ryan was here, why hadn't the other four shown up?"I can't explain why,

Dreamscape invited Felix backstage? He was taken aback. Truth be told, he didn't know Dreamscape, nor had he ever paid her much attention. Why, then, had she singled him out and invited him backstage?Seeing him hesitate, the manager nearly slapped him on the spot. If it weren't for Dreamscape's instructions to treat him politely, she would have let her anger flare.Was he joking? This was an invitation from Dreamscape herself—a face-to-face meeting!Anyone else would have been overjoyed and wouldn't hesitate for a second, but here he was, actually thinking it over."Fine, I'll go with you." Felix finally rose, curious about what Dreamscape wanted from him.As he followed the manager, everyone in the VIP area turned and looked. It was an unprecedented sight."Oh? Could it be that Felix knows the mysterious Dreamscape? If so, that might explain why he was invited to the concert," Nala murmured.She made no further comment as she stood to leave. Yvonne, who was about to share her

Felix nodded earnestly. "It was incredible, Delilah. It was truly moving. I'm not exaggerating."Receiving Felix's praise, Delilah's expression lit up with happiness. However, she soon pouted her lips."I thought you'd be so smitten with someone else that you wouldn't even have the heart to listen to my concert," Delilah said grumpily."Huh?" Felix blinked in confusion. "What do you mean?"She extended a slender finger and tapped his chest. Feigning an accusing tone, she said, "Don't play dumb! Leslie has everything in all the right places and sizes. Am I wrong?""Uh!" Felix took a step back, genuinely startled.He stammered as he tried to respond, "How… how do you know about that?"Delilah remained quiet, sinking back onto the couch and fixing Felix with a direct, piercing gaze that made his scalp tingle.Felix quickly started explaining, "Delilah, I had no choice! Didn't Leslie explain it to you? She was poisoned, and I did what I had to do!"Delilah laughed. "Silly, did you

Perry was dead. He lay on the ground in front of Ted's grave, with blood pooling around him.Xena was overwhelmed with grief. With her parents gone, she had only Curtis to rely on, and she cherished every one of her relatives. Now, seeing Perry dead before her and with what looked like a suicide, the pain was unbearable for her.Yet, Jaden's expression remained calm, as if he had anticipated this scene. There was even a flicker of schadenfreude in his gaze."Xena, now's not the time to feel sad. Think about why your uncle would choose to take his own all of a sudden," Jaden said.Still crying, Xena looked at Jaden, feeling confused, "What do you mean?""When I arrived, he was still alive! He only told me that he was sure that Felix was responsible for his son's death, though he had no proof. Maybe, as a father, he found it unbearable to go on without avenging his son's murder."Xena felt guilty. She looked down at Perry's lifeless body."Uncle Perry, why did you have to take suc

"Mr. Hawkins, we've confirmed it. Perry's death was indeed a suicide. Xena went to the site personally," a subordinate reported.Andrei nodded, setting aside Perry's final letter. He raised his hand, and a tablet was handed to him immediately."This is all the information we could gather on Felix. Please take a look."Time slipped by as Andrei meticulously studied the details for over two hours. He had always been detail-oriented, after all."Felix is far from ordinary, as expected. Most of the people in his circle are not ones we can afford to provoke," Andrei remarked.While they couldn't yet ascertain Felix's full capabilities—aside from Perry's mention of him being a martial artist—the connections within his circle told a different story."Yes, Mr. Hawkins. That was my conclusion as well. Are we still going to proceed against Felix?"Andrei nodded again. "Of course. A promise is a promise. I'll keep at it until I reach my limits. If there's truly no way forward, only then wi

The note read, "I challenge you on behalf of the Elders' Council. On the night of the full moon, atop Eastern Mountain. I will await you!"Beneath that, the note was signed with the name "Solomon Gill".Looking at those words on the note, Felix felt somewhat baffled."Felix, I'm so sorry… I've let you down." Vivian apologized repeatedly, disregarding her own injuries. It was her first major task since becoming Dragon Lord, and it had ended in failure. She felt terrible for this setback."Don't take it to heart. This Solomon is at least at the level of a Martial Saint. It makes sense you couldn't match him," Felix said dismissively.The enemy had managed to injure Vivian and all the Dragon Alliance guards without even being seen. That said enough about his capability. Felix had reacted quickly, but by the time he came out, the person was gone."Have you ever heard of the Elders' Council?" he asked.Vivian shook her head. "No, and as far as I know, there's no such organization in

"Have you forgotten what I always taught you? The Greene family never fights a battle without certainty. Send an expert to test Felix's abilities first—just testing, mind you, nothing lethal," Meredith instructed.Aiden nodded in understanding. "Yes, Grandma."…At Xena's residence in Yartford, Felix sat silently on the couch until Xena broke the silence. She said, "About your earlier situation, you don't need to worry for now. "While you're on assignment, headquarters will protect your family members, and since you have no acknowledged relatives, this protection extends to your friends."Felix looked up with interest. "Is that really possible?"Xena nodded. "Yes, I've authorized it personally. No matter how powerful they are, the Greene family wouldn't dare openly defy headquarters. "You can rest assured about that. However, how you resolve your conflict with them after the mission is your own business."How to resolve it? Through elimination, of course! Now that his anger h
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 819
Aiden made a subtle hand gesture behind his back. He and Meredith knew that someone like Felix, who would not even acknowledge his own father, would never respect the Greene family's authority.They had not really brought him here to treat Meredith's condition—their true intention was to eliminate Felix. The Greene family had always been ruthless—if someone could not be controlled, what was the point of letting them live? This was especially true since Felix carried Greene blood but refused to serve the family's interests.However, Felix's Dragon Knight status complicated matters. Since it was an official position appointed by headquarters, killing such a person would mean directly opposing the organization—something even the Greene family could not afford."What do you think you're doing, Felix?" Aiden asked with a barely concealed smirk. He had deliberately used Felix's friends to provoke him into attacking first, which would give the Greene family legitimate grounds for retal

No one showed Felix where to go, with only Asher standing beside him as they waited for Aiden to return."Felix, don't be so stubborn. You can't fight the inevitable! You should be grateful that Grandma is willing to let you return to the Greene family," Asher urged, but Felix remained silent."If it weren't for Uncle Victor, do you think I'd be this patient with you? Today is your best chance—if you cure Grandma, you'll prove your worth, and no one will oppose your return to the family."When Felix continued ignoring him, Asher finally became quiet. Ten minutes later, Aiden appeared, pushing a wheelchair, followed by over a dozen impressive-looking individuals.Felix studied the elderly woman in the wheelchair. Despite her silver hair, her skin showed remarkably few wrinkles—a testament to decades of careful maintenance. "Grandma, this is Felix Zeller," Aiden announced.Meredith Armstrong, the Greene family matriarch, did not even bother to flash a smile. She said coldly, "Vict

Felix could not understand why these two had shown up again, especially since his dealings at the Obsidian Auction with the Dragonspine should have left no traces."I won't say it twice," Asher warned, but Aiden ignored him and turned to the woman instead."What seems to be the problem?" Aiden asked, his demeanor commanding respect.Intimidated by Aiden's imposing presence, the woman reluctantly answered, "I have a terrible headache."Aiden snapped his fingers, and his men immediately placed stacks of cash on the table. "Here's 100 thousand dollars. It's all yours—how's your headache now?"The woman excitedly clutched the money to her chest, backing toward the door with a broad smile. "It's gone! The pain is completely gone! Thank you so much!" In the inner room, Melissa felt furious even without seeing what happened. She would have stormed out to confront them if Nala had not held her back."Felix, isn't my way of treating patients faster and more effective than yours?" Aiden

"We still can't confirm if he's really from the Bronze Age over 2000 years ago," Felix mumbled thoughtfully.Everyone studied Benjamin carefully, finding it hard to believe. Yet, considering that his body had been used for ancient alchemical experiments by the greatest mystics of the time, it was not entirely impossible."I'm sure I'll have a way to verify it once we're back in Dragonia," Felix added confidently.At dawn, Felix and Nala were set to return home while Selmer stayed behind. The plan was for Reagan to gather the Steele family that night, eliminate them all, and then return. They were not worried about the Elders' Council for now, as Felix's betrayal would not be discovered anytime soon."Thank you for everything," Felix said on the private jet, still feeling guilty about the night's events. "Don't mention it. I've already decided to pursue you, so helping you is only natural," Nala replied simply.Felix frowned at her words. "A relationship between us is impossible.
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 815
The name Benjamin Stone was entirely unfamiliar to Felix, but he was beginning to piece together the situation. In ancient times, emperors were often called the Sons of the Dragon, and their presence was described as "dragon energy".Felix, with his unique possession of the Dragonspine, could very well radiate such a presence. Was it possible that this man knelt and called him "my liege" because he sensed the dragon energy emanating from the pen?"Stand and speak!" Felix commanded.The strange man obeyed immediately, rising to his feet. His tangled hair fell away, revealing a face marred by dirt and scars. Beneath his grimy exterior, Felix saw the features of a middle-aged man, his eyes cloudy but occasionally flashing with a murderous intensity. It was clear this man had seen countless battles, his energy thick with the bloodlust that only came from waging war—and winning it. Such a presence was impossible to fake. Nala and the others edged closer, curiosity etched across their f

"He treats the brush like a sacred relic, which means he absolutely won't allow anyone else to claim it," Felix said, his voice firm.With that, he grabbed the brush in his hand. Instantly, a roar erupted from far away, followed by Alfie's alarmed shout."Damn it! The creature's turning back!"Selmer instinctively wanted to flee, but seeing Felix remain motionless, he did not dare move either. Disobeying his master in such a moment would be nothing short of betrayal."Step back," Felix said, his tone steely. "At this point, I have no choice but to take a gamble!"As the creature rushed back toward them, Felix's suspicions seemed increasingly accurate. If they did not solve this now, Nala would not be the only one dead. In fact, everyone who had come into contact with the brush—himself included—would eventually be hunted down.If this also involved its presence, that might mean Luna and the others were not safe, either."Mr. Zeller, just… be careful!" Selmer shouted, his voice he
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 813
With that roar, Felix finally understood that the monster's target was Nala. He knew he could survive if he abandoned her right now, but how could he do that when she only came to Astoria because of him?As the distance between them and the creature grew shorter, Nala shouted desperately, "Let me go, or we'll both die!"Being only at Pulse Realm, she would have been caught immediately if she ran alone. It was also why Felix had been carrying her all this time."Shut up!" Felix shouted, his heart racing as he realized they had less than five seconds before the creature would catch up to them.In a split-second decision, Felix roughly pushed Nala forward and turned to face the charging monster. He commanded, "Run!"Nala fled with tears streaming down her face, not daring to look back. She knew Felix was buying her time with his life.The ground shook violently as the surrounding rocks crumbled to dust and trees were ripped from their roots. At that moment, Felix unleashed several p

Nala felt helpless, knowing she had many resources back in Dragonia but none here. Felix held onto the brush, refusing to let Alfie take it. "I'm the strongest here—you'd likely die facing them," he explained.He refused to hand the brush over to Alfie, and the latter's expression tightened. It was not a matter of pride—this was a task that could very well cost him his life."No!" Nala grabbed Felix's arm, unwilling to let the man she had grown to love risk his life. Even Selmer stepped forward, saying, "Sir, let me have a go. My life is yours to risk."Luna suddenly spoke up, "Why don't we just leave the brush somewhere? If they're after it, we don't need to sacrifice anyone."An awkward silence fell as they realized the simple logic of her suggestion.After that, they placed the floating, trembling brush in their previous battleground. Then, Felix, Nala, Alfie, and Selmer hid nearby to observe. About ten minutes later, a massive explosion announced the arrival of a mysteriou
